Early history

PT Indonusa Telemedia was established on 7 May 1997 with the brand name TelkomVision and began operations in 1999. TelkomVision started as a company consisting of several shareholders:

  • PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom)
  • PT Telkomindo Primabhakti (Megacell)
  • PT Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI)
  • PT Datakom Asia (Datakom Asia)

By 2003, Telkom became its principal shareholder by holding 98.75% share of TelkomVision, while the rest (1.25%) is owned by Datakom.[3]

In 2014, TelkomVision officially rebranded as Transvision due to TelkomVision shareholders only 20% and now owned by Trans Media which became its principal shareholder by holding 80%. Now Transvision is fully owned by joint venture between Telkom Group and Trans Media.
